Plural is only used for more than 5 bytes?
"5 bytes is added" vs "7 bytes are added"

This only works because cascade port is port 0, right?

Nope, no new lan937x_cascade tagging protocol.

If you read Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst, it says:

| From the perspective of the network stack, all switches within the same DSA
| switch tree use the same tagging protocol.

Unless you are prepared to remove this assumption from the DSA framework,
you need to fold the cascade tag handling into the regular lan937x
tagging protocol (and declare the larger needed_tailroom to cover the
tail tag case).

You can look at dp->ds->index when figuring out the length of the tail
tag that should be inserted.

There's a lot of consolidation that could (and should) be done first
between lan937x_xmit() and ksz9477_xmit(), prior to adding the support
for cascade tagging.
